General NSW Cup 2025

[Tragic]

Healey,Boyd and TSS can come in to offset the lose of Tuaupiki. Maybe Lussick plays if he's injury free too.
Would you drop Cleary or Hanson?

TT got through fine, but Kali looked cooked with that ankle. Hard to say who drops out, though Hanson might get the nod given his time alongside Boyd. Ali trained during the week, so I’m guessing he’s ineligible. Healey’s return will be massive. EIT looks banged up again with that nerve issue. I’d drop Crosby off the bench after today – he was bloody average.

General Post in thread 'NSW Cup 2025'

Aug 16, 2025

Looking back to the 2024 NSW Cup thread it was every NRL player is eligible if your NRL team is still alive otherwise it's 8 games. Tuaupiki has 5, TMM 6 and Leiataua 4. TSS scrapes in with 9. I think there's a loophole that if you've played more games in Cup than NRL you're also available under 8 games but no one fits that criteria.

Looks correct - I found this 2024 rulebook:

Finals Eligibility

• 13.12. To be eligible for the Jersey Flegg Cup or NSW Cup...

• slime

Doesn't the PPIS state that you must play a minimum of 5 NSW Cup games for a 1st grade player to be eligible for NSW Cup finals ? Taine has played 7.

2024 rule book states you need 8

So the fact he was out for two games with concussion protocol doesn’t count?

When he got ko'd vs Eels he did miss a week. I guess the club could try that arguement with NSWRL

At least we found out about Tajhay and Fonzie cuddling on the embankment. Was worth the $6 for Bar TV just for that.

Was there a cold play concert moment?

One can only try. No harm in that. Was that the normal dragons team in field today

Looking at that Dragons side, Feagai was only playing in his 4th NSW Cup game of the year today, and has played 8 in the NRL so an exemption for someone like Tuaupiki can't be ruled out

Well he was eligible to play today in a final, can’t say he can’t play next weekend

That's not what the rules, at least the 2024 ones, state however
